"Today's actions send a strong message to USA businesses that hire and employ an illegal workforce: ICE will enforce the law, and if you are found to be breaking the law, you will be held accountable", ICE Deputy Director Thomas Homan said in a statement. "7-Eleven takes compliance with immigration laws seriously and has terminated the franchise agreements of franchisees convicted of violating these laws".

"Under the current administration, all workers encountered during these investigations who are unauthorized to remain in the US are subject to administrative arrest and removal from the country", ICE said in its statement on the 7-Eleven operations.

"This obligation requires 7-Eleven franchisees to verify work eligibility in the U.S. for all of their prospective employees prior to hiring", the company noted in a statement to the press. They were trying to root out employers whose workers may be in this country illegally.

George W. Bush's administration aggressively pursued criminal investigations against employers in its final years with dramatic pre-dawn shows of force and large numbers of worker arrests.

One of the biggest workplace immigration raids, in May 2008, resulted in the detention of almost 400 undocumented immigrants, including several children, at an Iowa meatpacking plant.

ICE published news accounts of the 7-Eleven raids on its Twitter account to further emphasize its stringent enforcement priorities with regard to employers and undocumented workers themselves. This means that all store associates in a franchised store are employees of the Franchisee and not 7-Eleven, Inc.

Rezaei noted the increase in targeting of immigrants since the advent of the Trump administration. All but one pleaded guilty and were ordered to pay more than $2.6 million. The agency started more reviews of forms that all employees must sign verifying their identity and immigration status.

"It's important for Trump to show that they're not just arresting the hapless schmo from Honduras but also but also the politically powerful American employer", he said.
